I wonder if the Scholastic method of the Schoolmen would be useful with its argument and counter argument style.

I also remember the first version of Smalltalk from Digitalk that was character based and windowed. It was called Methods. I can’t seem to find any reference to it on the web now.

I always thought of what I learned in some philosophy class, that there are only two ways to generate a contradiction.

One way is to reason from a false premise, or as I would put it, something we think is true is not true.

The other way is to mix logical levels (“this sentence is false”).

I don’t think I ever encountered a bug from mixing logical levels, but the false premise was a common culprit.
